Real learning comes when the people in your life need you, when they need what only you can provide. When your genius solves the problem, when your labor provides the food on the table, when your skill gives the people you care about a better life, that is real learning. Self-directed education, then, begins with a purpose. You want to accomplish something of value, and so you reach for the knowledge and the skills you need. When you have accomplished your purpose, you know you have added value to your life and to the lives of those around you.

I had a marvelous time at the IAHE Convention. I didnâ€™t get to meet any of you so that made me a little sad, but perhaps next time.
I spent a good portion of the convention listening in on Woody Robertson, of College Plus!, explain how to get your B.A. by the time your 18. My teenager and soon to be junior high daughters are absolutely excited. Iâ€™ve never seen them work so diligently before. LOL
I also purchased My Fatherâ€™s World for my two little ones. I am a huge fan of Sonlight, but I have never liked their Kindergarten core. So, I bit the bullet and tried a new one. I will return to Sonlight for the following year.
I have been doing really well with the Super Conditioning Challenge. Last Sunday I did 200 burpees in 9:31. I was so excited!
I have also been very good at keeping my grocery bill under $150 each week. Today I only spent $86.24! Woot! It really helps when you donâ€™t buy all the processed junk in the store. My purchases are all for meats, veggies, fruits, and dairy products. I hit a really good sale last week on the milk. Wise Way was selling almost expired milk for $1.49 a gallon. I bought 4 and froze them in the deep freezer. I wonâ€™t have to buy milk for quite some time. Yay! I also got a case of cheese blocks, all different kinds, for $10. I put those all in the freezer and just take a block out and stick it in the fridge about 2 days before I need it.
I would love to hear what you ladies do to save money on the grocery bill.

I am looking forward to attending this convention.Â I havenâ€™t been to a convention in two years.Â Life has been pretty hectic with my husbandâ€™s travel schedule, my boot camps and tumbling competitions.Â This year put my foot down and demanded we go.Â Okay, so I whined a little, but weâ€™re going!Â
There are going to beÂ some wonderful workshops on college that my teenager wants to attend.Â I will officially have all my kids homeschooling next year.Â My 3 year old will be working with my 5 year old, although somewhat modified.Â I will have a middle schooler and my high schooler will be completing her last year of school.Â Wow!Â Time sure flies!
If any of you are attending the Indy convention, please let me know.Â I would love to meet you.

I am so thankful this week is over. I spent a lot of time in the hospital this week. My husband has a goiter on his thyroid that we had to have scanned on Wed. and Thurs. because thyroid cancer runs in his family. While we were at the hospital for his testing, we visited the director of Camp LRCA, a dear friend, because he went in for excruciating back pain.
After all the testing, he found out he had broke a vertebra due to cancer in his blood. We were so shocked! He had surgery on Wednesday, so I stayed with the family most of the day. Thursday we were able to see him. The pain is now tolerable, but he has several more surgeries and radiation treatments ahead of him.
I am rather exhausted today and Iâ€™m sure itâ€™s emotional. I did get my workout in and am right now enjoying my post workout shake while checking up on you guys.
Tropical Pina Colada Post Workout Shake
1/2 cup chilled green tea
1/2 cup coconut milk
1 cup ice
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1/4 cup frozen pineapple
1/2 medium banana
Blend it up and enjoy!
I signed us up for the Indiana Homeschool Convention in Indy. Anyone going? It would be really fun to meet some of you there.
We decided to put our 11 year old in the childrens conference for the first time. I think she will enjoy it a lot and since itâ€™s with other Christian homeschoolers, I feel pretty good about it.
My teenager will be attending the conference with us and boning up on college information. The babies will be staying with my husbandâ€™s best friend who lives in Indy. I havenâ€™t been to a homeschool conference in two years and I feel like my cup is empty. I need to be filled back up again.
I did attend Cindy Rushtonâ€™s Ultimate Homeschool Expo which really helped me this school year, but I think getting away from home and physically being around other homeschoolers will really get me excited and re-energized.
My husband is going to a training conference for 3 weeks so life will be rather hectic around here for awhile. I feel no matter how many times he has gone on long trips, I will never get used to it. I donâ€™t feel complete when heâ€™s gone.
I hope everyone has an awesome weekend. I plan on savoring every moment with hubby before he flies out for 3 weeks.
Keep sending me your questions. I love it!
